so i can hatch em and **** for my cory fry but i got a few questions: i used the turkey baster/ coffee filter method, but do the babys die as soon as they hit the freshwater? and also they dont seem to be taking a liking to it so in there anything else corydoras fry would eat that is relatively easy to get my hands on (yolk sac is disappearing/disappeared. really small and cant really tell. ive heard micro worms, are they sold frozen?
 
Microworms are really easy to culture,if theres a fish club near you Im sure someone can hook you up with a starter,or you can buy one on aquabid.com.once you got it going its cheap fry food forever!
The bbs last a few hours in freshwater,microworms can last a day.The microworms might be better for cory fry they sink to the bottom and wiggle in place,some fry have trouble catching bbs.

I hatch bbs daily in my fishroom,just run a brine shrimp net through the hatching container and swish the net in a cup of freshwater,then I can pour the right amount in each tank that needs it.Sounds easier than the way your doing it.
 
Also green water infusoria is great beginner food for tiny fry
 
Guppy, how do you reccomend culturing infusoria? I've been trying with poor results. I want to have somethign to feed my bbs on so I can have live adults for food as well.
